Silicone rubber fouling-resistant coatings are described for example in GB-A-1307001, GB-A-1470465, GB-A- 1581727, GB-A-2141436, EP-A-16195 and US-A-3702773. RTV silicone rubber coatings have also been suggested as coatings inhibiting the adhesion of ice, for example on the superstructure and topsides of ships. A problem in the use of such RTV silicone rubber coatings is that it is difficult to make them adhere well to substrates. This problem is discussed in EP-A-16195 which proposes applying the RTV silicone rubber as a cladding on a fabric backing. Various primer compositions have been suggested for room-temperature-vulcanisable silicone rubber antifoulings. US-A-3702778 proposes a crosslinkable silicone paste. EP- A-89066 proposes a mixture of an epoxysilane and a silane containing an unsaturated hydrocarbon group. JP-A-53- 137231, JP-A-53-137233 and JP-A-53-137234 propose various elastomeric materials such as polyurethane, natural rubber, chloroprene or neoprene rubber or butyral/silicone rubber. EP-A-323906 and EP-A-329375 propose a silicone resin containing an aminosilane.
US-A-4070421 describes the use of chlorinated polyethylene as a primer for improving adhesion of coatings on polyolefin surfaces.

(C2H5O)2CH3Si(CH2)3NH2. Mixtures of two or more primary amine-functional silanes (I) may be used if desired.
The primary amine-functional silane (I) is preferably used as such in the primer composition. It can however be replaced wholly or in part by a reaction product of the primary amine-functional silane (I) and an epoxy-functional silane ( I I ) . The group A i n the epoxy-functi onal si l ane ( I I ) i s p referabl y a gl yci doxy-substi tuted alkyl group, for example 3-glycidoxypropyl. The epoxy-functional silane (II) can for example be 3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxy silane, 3-glycidoxypropyl diethoxy methoxy silane, 2- glycidoxypropyl trimethoxy silane, 3-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)- propyl trimethoxy silane or 2-(3,4-epoxy-4-methylcyclohexyl)-ethyl trimethoxy silane. Examples of preferred reaction products of an amine-functional silane (I) and an epoxy-functional silane (II) are:

(CH3O)3Si(CH2)3 - NH-(CH2)2-NH-CH2-CH-CH2-O(CH2)3Si(OCH3)3
Figure imgf000006_0003
The aminosilane (I) and the epoxysilane (II) can be reacted at 20-80°C, preferably using 0.4-1.2 primary amine groups of aminosilane (I) per epoxide group in (II).
In a further alternative, the primary amine-functional silane (I) is replaced wholly or in part by a reaction product of the primary amine-functional silane (I) and an alpha, omega-dihydroxypolydimethylsiloxane (III). (I) and (III) can be reacted at 20-80°C, preferably using 0.4-1.2 alkoxy groups of aminosilane (I) per silanol group in (III).
The chlorinated polyolefin (B) preferably has a molecular weight of 5.000 to 50,000 and a chlorine content of 15 to 75%, most preferably 17 to 40%. by weight. Chlorinated polyolefins are commercially available. They can be prepared by treating a polyolefin with chlorine in the presence of a peroxide catalyst. The chlorinatior. reaction is preferably carried out in a solvent for the polyolefin starting material. The polyolefin is preferably a poly(alpha-olefin) such as polyethylene or polypropylene. The polyolefin can be of high or low density, amorphous or crystalline. It can be a copolymer of two or more olefins, preferably alpha-olefins. Suitable chlorinated polyolefins are described for example in US-A-3561965 and US-A-4070421. The chlorinated polyolefin (B) car, be used in conjunction with another chlorinated hydrocarbon resin, for example a chlorinated polyterpene resin or chlorinated polystyrene. The polystyrene is preferably of low molecular weight (less than 5000). Such a chlorinated hydrocarbon resin preferably has a similar degree of chlorination to the chlorinated polyolefin. The chlorinated hydrocarbon resin can for example be used in an amount of from 1 to 100% by weight based on the chlorinated polyolefin (B). The aminosilane material (A) is generally used at 0.1 to 50% by weight based on the chlorinated material (chlorinated polyolefin (B) plus any other chlorinated hydrocarbon resin), most oreferably 1 to 20% by weight.
The room-temperature-curable polydiorganosiloxane (C) is preferably a polydiorganosiloxane of viscosity 700 to 1,000,000 m Pa s at 25°C. It preferably contains siliconbonded hydroxyl groups, for example an aloha, omega- dihydroxypolydiorganosiloxane, or silicon-bonded hydrolysable groups, for example a polydiorganosiloxane tipped with silicon-bonded hydrolysable groups. More preferably. it is formed of recurring diorgancsiloxy units of the formula
- R4 2SiO - where the radicals R4, which can be the same or different, represent hydrocarbon radicals having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. It is preferred that at least 50% of the radicals R4 are methyl groups. The dihydroxyoolydiorganosiloxane may further contain monoorganosiloxy groups of the formula R4SiO1.5 and/or siloxy groups of the formula
SiO2 in a maximum proportion of 2% with respect to the number of diorganosiloxy groups R4 2SiO. The hydrocarbon radicals represented by the symbol R4 in the di- and mono-organosiloxy units may suitably be selected from alkyl radicals such as methyl, ethyl, n- propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, n-pentyl, n-hexyl, 2-ethyl hexyl or n-octyl, cycloalkyl radicals having from 4 to 8 carbon atoms such as cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl or methyl- cyclohexyl, alkenyl radicals having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms such as vinyl, allyl or buten-2-yl, and aryl radicals having from 6 to 8 carbon atoms such as phenyl, tolyl or xylyl.
As preferred examples cf the groups represented by R4 2SiO the following formulae are noted:
(CH3)2SiO CH3(CH2=CH)SiO
CH3(C6H5)SiO (C6H5)2SiO One example of a suitable alpha, omega-dihydroxy polydimethylsiloxane is that sold by Rhone Poulenc under the trade name "48V 3500".
Alpha, omega-dihydroxypolydiorganosiloxanes can readily be prepared by well-known techniαues described, for example, in FR-A-1134005, FR-A-1198749 and FR-A-1226745. The polydiorganosiloxanes are preferably separated from volatile by-products before use, for example by the devolatilisation process described in US-A-4356116.
Preferred alpha, omega-dihydroxypolydimethylsiloxanes consist of successive groups of the formula (CH3)2SiO or contain up to 10%, for example 2-10%, by mole of their groups R4 as phenyl groups, for example in the form of
(C6H5)2SiO units.
Alpha, omega-dihydroxypolydiorganosiloxanes are generally used with a curing agent, for example a compound containing at least two silicon-bonded hydrolysable groups per molecule. Examples of suitable curing agents are ketiminoxysilanes, acyloxysilanes and alkoxysilanes, tetraalkyl titanates and aluminium alcoholates.
A ketiminoxysilane curing agent preferably contains at least two silicon-bonded hydrolysable ketiminoxy groups per molecule. Such a curing agent is preferably used at 1 to 18 parts by weight per 100 parts of alpha, omega-dihycroxy- polydiorganosiloxane. The ketiminoxysilane curing agent may have the general formula:
Y1 fSlZ1 (4-f) in which:
Y1 represents a hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, which may be substituted by halogen or cyano:
Z represents a hydrolysable radical of the formula:
(Z2)2C = NO- or
Figure imgf000009_0001
in which the groups Z2, which can be the same or difrerent, represent C1-C8 hydrocarbon radicals and E1 represents a
C4-C8 alkylene radical: the groups Z1 can be the same or different: and f represents 0 or 1. Examples of group Y are those listed above as examples of group R4 in the diorganosiloxy units.
Examples of ketiminoxysilane curing agents are those of the formulae:
CH3Si [ON = C(CH3)2]3, CH3Si [ON = C(CH3)C2H5]3,
(CH2 = CH)Si [ON = C(CH3)C2H5]3, C6H5Si [ON = C(CH3)2]3,
CH3Si [ON = C (C2H5)(CH2)3CH3]3,
(CH3)2C = NOSi [ON = C(CH3)C2H5]3. CH3Si [ON =
CH3Si [ON = 5]3
Figure imgf000010_0001
Si[ON = C(C2H5)(CH3)]4 or Si [ON = C(CH3)2]4 and their mixtures. An acyloxysilane curing agent can for example have the formula:
R5 aSi(OCOR6)4-a where R5 is defined as for group R4 mentioned above, R6 is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical, e.g. of up to 8 carbon atoms, without aliphatic unsaturation and a is 0 or 1. The radicals R6 can for example be alkyl such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl or n-hexyl, cycloalky! such as cyclopentyl or cyclohexyl, or aryl such as phenyl, tolyl or xylyl. Examples of acyloxysi lane curing agents are: CH3 Si ( OCOCH3 )3 C2H5Si ( OCOCH 3 ) 3
CH 2 = CHS i ( OCOCH3 ) 3 C6H5 Si ( OCOCH3 ) 3
CH3Si(OCOCH(C2H5)(CH2)3CH3)3 CF3CH2CH2Si(OCOC6H5)3
An acyloxysilane curing agent can for example be used at 2-20 % by weight based on the alpha, omega- dihydroxypolydiorganosiloxane.
An alkoxysilane curing agent can for example be a tetraalkyl orthosilicate (tetraalkoxysilane) such as tetraethyl orthosilicate or an alkyl trialkoxysilane such as methyl trimethoxysilane, ethyl trimethoxysilane or methyl triethoxysilane. Alkoxysilane curing agents such as tetraethyl orthosilicate are particularly preferred for use with moisture-curable polydiorganosiloxanes.
The room-temoerature-curable polydiorganosiloxane (C) can be moisture-curable because atmospheric moisture is usually present when coating a marine surface. A moisture- curable polydiorganosiloxane can for example have hydrolysable end groups. The polydiorganosiloxane (3) containing silicon-bonded hydrolysable groups is preferaply formed by combining an alpha, omega-dihydroxypolydiorganosiloxane with a compound containing at least two silicon- bonded hydrolysable groups per molecule. Examples of suitable compounds of this type are the ketiminoxysilanes anc acyloxysilanes described above as curing agents, for example methyl triacetoxy silane. which form polydiorganosiloxanes tipped with silicon-bonded hydrolysable ketirmnoxy or acyloxy groups. Reaction between the silicon-bonded hydroxyl groups of the alpha, omega-dihydroxy- polydiorganosiloxane and the silicon-bonded hydrolysable groups of the said compound generally takes place as these materials are combined, so that the polydiorganosiloxane (C) is at least partially tipped with silicon-bonded hydroxyl groups. An alternative polydiorganosiloxane (C) tipped with silicon-bonded hydrolysable groups is an amine-tipped polydiorganosiloxane, for example an alpha, omega-diamino- polydiorganosiloxane of the formula:
Figure imgf000011_0001
where R4 is defined as above, n is an integer such that the polydiorganosiloxane has a viscosity of 700-1,000,000 m Pa s at 25°C. and R7 and R8 each represent hydrogen or a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.
Most preferably R7 represents hydrogen and R8 represents an alkyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms. for example ethyl. propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl or sec-butyl (but-2-yl).
Examples of amine-tioped polydiorganosiloxanes are sold under the Trade Marks "Silgan 500" and "Silgan 501J".
The room-temperature-curable polydiorganosiloxane (C) is preferably used at 0.1 to 100 parts by weight, more preferably 1 to 50 parts by weight, per part by weight of the chlorinated material (chlorinated polyolefin (B) plus any other chlorinated hydrocarbon resin).
The primer composition may contain a catalyst for the room-temperature curing of the polydiorganosiloxane. Examples of catalysts are metallic and organometallic salts of carboxylic acids. Metallic salts may be salts of tin, lead, nickel, cobalt, iron, chromium, zinc or manganese, for example stannous octoate. Preferred organometallic salts are diorganotin carboxylate compounds such as dibutyltin dilaurate or dibutyltin acetate. Organic titanium derivatives containing at least one -Ti-O-Si- or -Ti-O-C- linkage, e.g. an alkanol amine titanate, and organic zirconium derivatives can be used as catalyst, as described in US-A-4525565.
The primer compositions preferably contain an organic diluent which can for example be an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon which is optionally halogenated such as n-heptane, n-octane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, toluene, xylene, mesitylene, cumene, tetrahydronaphthalene, perchloroethylene, trichloroethane, tetrachloroethane, chlorobenzene or orthodichlorobenzene, an aliphatic or cycloal iphatic ketone such as methylethylketone, methylisobutylketone, methylisoamylketone, cyclohexanone or isophorone: an ether such as a dialkyl ether of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, or an ester such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate or ethoxyethyl acetate. The diluent is preferably a solvent for the chlorinated polyolefin (B), including any other chlorinated hydrocarbon resin present. The weight ratio of diluent to chlorinated polyolefin plus any other chlorinated hydrocarbon resin is preferably in the range 1:3 to 20:1, more preferably 2:3 to 10:1. The weight ratio of diluent to room-temoerature- curable polydiorganosiloxane is usually 1:50 to 20:1, preferably 1:10 to 3:1.
The primer composition can be prepared by mixing the aminosilane material (A) and the chlorinated polyolefin (B) with the room-temperature-curable polydiorganosiloxane (C). The chlorinated polyolefin (B) and any other chlorinated hydrocarbon resin present are preferably dissolved in an organic solvent before mixing with the aminosilane material (A) and the polydiorganosiloxane (C).
The primer composition can also contain additives selected from pigments, mineral fillers, thixotropic agents, stabilisers, surfactants, antioxidants and plasticisers. It may be preferred to include colouring pigments in the primer composition so that it can be overcoated by a fouling-resistant layer of clear RTV silicone rubber. When incorporating pigments, it may be necessary to take precautionary steps to avoid any moisture present in the pigment from instigating premature curing of the room-temperature-curable polydiorganosiloxane (C). The simplest precaution is to ensure that any pigments used are thoroughly dry. Alternatively, the pigments can be dispersed in a diluent, preferably a polydiorganosiloxane, which inhibits reaction of any moisture present in the pigment with the room-temperature-curable polydiorganosiloxane (C). The pigment can for example be dispersed in a non-reactive polydiorganosiloxane oil such as a methyltipped polydimethylsiloxane oil before the pigment contacts the room-temperature-curable polydiorganosiloxane (C) (including any curing agent therefor) and preferably also before the pigment contacts the aminosilane material (A). In an alternative procedure the pigment is dispersed in a liquid hydroxyl-tipped polydiorganosiloxane before the pigment contacts the aminosilane material (A) or any curing agent or material containing silicon-bonded hydrolysable groups which forms part of the room-temperature-curable polydidrganosiloxane (C). When this alternative procedure is used, the liquid hydroxyl-tipped polydiorganosiloxane used as dispersion medium will generally become co-cured with the room-temperature-curable polydiorganosiloxane (C). It can itself be used as the room-temperature-curable polydiorganosiloxane (C), in conjunction with a curing agent added later. It is generally preferred however that a liquid hydroxyl-tipped polydiorganosiloxane used as dispersion medium for the pigment forms only part of the polydiorganosiloxane (C); for example it can be used with a later-added moisture-curable polydiorganosiloxane (C) tipped with hydrolysable groups.
The primer composition is particularly effective in promoting adhesion to organic resin substrates such as neoprene rubber, chlorinated rubber, block copolymer rubbers such as polystyrene/polybutadiene or polystyrene/poly(ethylene-butylene) rubbers, polyurethanes, (both elastomers and thermoplastic resins), epoxy coatings, vinyl resins such as vinyl chloride polymers or alkyd resins. These resins may for example be in the form of cladding in the case of neoprene and similar rubbers, or may be previously-applied coatings, for example anticorrosive coatings which are to be covered by a silicone rubber antifouling paint, or old antifouling coatings which are to be overcoated. The primer composition also promotes adhesion to metal substrates such as aluminium or steel.
The primer composition can be applied to the substrate by any known coating technique. Usually it is applied by spray, brush or roller. The RTV silicone rubber fouling-resistant coating which is applied over the primer composition can for example be based on an alpha, omega-dihydroxypolydiorganosiloxane as described above, used with a curing agent selected from those described above and optionally a catalyst selected from those described above. Alternative ly, the RTV silicone rubber can be a polydiorganosiloxane tipped with silicon-bonded hydrolysable groups as described above, for example silicon-bonded ketiminoxy or acyloxy groups. It may be preferred that the curing agent or silicon-bonded hydrolysable groups in the room-temoerature- curable diorganopolysiloxane (C) in the primer composition and the curing agent or silicon-bonded hydrolysable groups in the RTV silicone rubber coating are the same. The RTV silicone rubber coating preferably includes a non-reactive silicone oil, for example of the formula: Q3Si-O-(SiQ2-
O-)nSiQ3, wherein each group Q represents a hydrocarbon radical having 1-10 carbon atoms and n is an integer such that the silicone oil has a viscosity of 20 to 5000 m Pa s. At least 10% of the groups Q are generally methyl groups and at least 2% of the groups Q are preferably phenyl groups. Most preferably, at least 25% of the -SiQ2-O- units are methylphenylsiloxane units. Most preferably the non-reactive silicone oil is a methyl-terminated poly(- methylphenylsiloxane). The oil preferably has a viscosity of 20 to 1000 m Pa s and is preferably used at 1 to 50%, most preferably 2 to 20%, by weight based on the RTV silicone rubber. An example of a preferred non-reactive silicone oil is that sold under the Trade Mark "Rhodorsil Huile 550". The non-reactive silicone oil improves the resistance of the composition to aquatic fouling.
Instead of, or in addition to, the non-reactive silicone oil, the RTV silicone rubber composition can contain a non-reactive fluid organic hydrocarbon, for example a lubricating mineral oil such as white oil, a low molecular weight polybutene or petrolatum or a liquid paraffin/petrolatum mixture. Such a non-reactive fluid organic hydrocarbon is preferably absent from the primer composition.
The primer composition improves the overall adhesion of the RTV silicone rubber to the substrate to a greater extent than can be achieved in the absence of any of the essential components (A), (B) and (C). The aminosilane material (A) and chlorinated polyolefin (B) ensure strong adhesion of the primer to the RTV silicone rubber and to the organic resin substrate respectively. We have however found that when a composition comprising aminosilane material (A), chlorinated polyolefin (B) and solvent is applied to many organic resin substrates it is rapidly absorbed by the substrate, so that adhesion of a subsequently applied RTV silicone rubber coating is poor unless it is applied very soon. The room-temperature-curable polydiorganosi loxane (C) counteracts the tendency for the primer composition to be absorbed by the substrate, allowing a much longer time period, for example up to a week or even longer, within which overcoating with an RTV silicone rubber composition can be achieved with good adhesion.
The primer composition according to the invention has much greater adhesion to many substrates, in particular neoprene, chloroprene or hydrocarbon rubbers, than a composition which does not contain chlorinated polyolefin. On all substrates, including those such as epoxy resin where the simple combination of room-temperature-curable polydiorganosiloxane and aminosilane material gives good adhesion, the chlorinated polyolefin improves the resistance to sea water immersion: good adhesion of the primer composition to the substrate and of the RTV silicone rubber top coat to the primer composition is maintained even after 18 months or more of immersion in sea water.
The invention is illustrated by the following Examples in which parts and percentages are by weight. Example 1
25 parts of a 40% solution in xylene of a chlorinated polyethylene (chlorine content 22%) was mixed with 2 parts
N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyl trimethoxy silane and diluted with 73 parts xylene. 14 parts of the resulting composition was mixed with 61 parts of a room-temperature-curable polydiorganosiloxane composition and 25 parts methyl isoamyl ketone solvent. The room-temperature-curable polydiorganosiloxane composition comprised an alpha, omega-dihydroxypoly- dimethylsiloxane used with a ketiminoxysilane curing agent.
The resulting primer composition was applied to a neoprene rubber substrate, and also to substrates coated with epoxy resin, polyurethane, vinyl resin and alkyd resin anticorrosive paints, and to a substrate having the residue of an old antifouling paint based on rosin, a vinyl chloride copolymer and cuprous oxide. In all cases the coating of primer composition could be overcoated with an RTV silicone rubber fouling-resistant composition based on an alpha, omega-dihydroxypolydiorganosiloxane with a ketiminoxysilane curing agent and a non-reactive poly(- methyl phenyl siloxane) oil about 10 minutes after application of the primer composition with good adhesion of the RTV composition, and could also be overcoated with the RTV composition 24 hours later with good adhesion.
The overcoated materials were immersed in sea water.
Adhesion between the primer composition and the substrates, and between the RTV silicone rubber fouling-resistant coating and the primer composition, remained strong after
18 months immersion in sea water.
Example 2
29.7 parts of pigments and fillears (barytes, titanium dioxide, fumed silica and black iron oxide) and 0.1 cart of dibutyltin dilaurate curing catalyst were dispersed by milling in 6.7 parts of non-reactive methyl-tipped polydimethylsiloxane oil and 10.6 parts of methyl isoamyl ketone solvent. The resulting pigment dispersion was mixed with 36.4 parts of room-temperature-curable polydimethylsiloxane tipped with ketiminoxy groups, 8.3 parts of the solution of chlorinated polyethylene and N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyl trimethoxy silane described in Example 1 and 8.2 parts of methyl isoamyl ketone.
The resulting primer composition was applied to epoxy resin, neoprene rubber and urethane rubber substrates. These samples were overcoated after 16 to 48 hours with the RTV silicone rubber of Example 1. The overcoated materials were immersed in sea water. Adhesion between the primer composition and the substrates, and between the RTV silicone rubber fouling-resistant coating and the primer composition, remained strong after 16 months' immersion in sea water. Example 3
28.1 parts of pigments and fillers (titanium dioxide, barytes, black iron oxide and fumed silica) were dispersed by milling in 11.5 parts of liquid hydroxyl-tipped polydimethylsiloxane with 0.5 part of wetting aid and 11.4 parts of methyl isoamyl ketone. The resulting pigment dispersion was mixed with 7.6 parts of the solution of chlorinated polyethylene and N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyl trimethoxy silane described in Example 1, 30.9 parts of room-temperature-curable polydimethylsiloxane tipped with ketiminoxy groups, 0.03 part of dibutyltin dilaurate and 10.0 parts of methyl isoamyl ketone.
The resulting primer composition was applied to substrates of epoxy resin, aluminium, urethane rubber, neoprene rubber, a substrate having a residue of old antifouling paint as described in Example 1, polystyrene/polybutadiene block copolymer rubber and polystyrene/poly(ethylene-butylene) block copolymer rubber. These samples were overcoated after 16 to 48 hours with the RTV silicone rubber of Example 1.
The overcoated materials were immersed in sea water.
Adhesion between the primer composition and the substrates, and between the RTV silicone rubber fouling-resistant coating and the primer composition, remained strong after 6 months' immersion in sea water.
